Several of our party went out to Gee
long and enjoyed a kangaroo hunt, which
was not only exciting and interesting,
but very amusing. When sighting the
kangaroo it is customary for the hunter
to toot his horn, which the acute ear of
the animal understands, and as the old
''man kangaroo" gathers his flock and
drives them before him, all on the hop,
the fun commences. Pistols are the
arms used, and the hunter must get in
his work before the animals reach the
thickets. 1t may be fun and easy work
for hurdle racers and kangaroos to jump
fallen bitches and fences, but it takes the
average tourist all his time to keep in the
saddle, and the usual thing is, no kan
garoo. During the chase my horse
carromed on stump, and as the ''old
man. kangaroo Topped over the fence
forty rods away / gave him parting
shot, and had the pleasure of seeing a
piece of bark fall twenty feet from a
neighboring blue gum. Three of the
animals were killed, and to make ou,'
hunt complete, Of course, their tails had
to be chopped off and converted into

against having the men scattered they
were locked in ON the second floor Of the

made ladder of themselves, came down

got on the second floor veranda of the

A skull of woodchuck was recently
found in Pike county, Ind, that told a
tale Of suffering when the animal was
alive. The right upper incisor grew q
little to one side, and so did not meet its
fellow of the lower jaw. It continued
TO grow down, however, until, striking
the bone Of the lower jaw, it was de-
flected upward and backward to the roof
Of the mouth, making complete circle
an inch IN diameter. The advancing
point pressed against the point Of the
skull, which was absorbed before it by
the pressure until the point grew clear
through the jaw and reappeared again in
the mouth, starting upon its second

light first went forth from Jerusalem. A
work OF preparation has been going on for
the last thirty or forty wears in theoretical
science, in practical art, in commerce, in

political principles, in criticism and in
philosophy, the results of which remain
to be elaborated. The rays may possibly
converge to focus during the lifetime OF
| those now coming on the stage of action.
1t is great thing to live at such a period
as this in some respects, it is a great priv
lege in other respects it involves great
peril. For, as might be expected at such a
